It was so nice to call and actually have someone answer the phone. We lucked out in timing as Ramon was just finishing a job and was in our neighborhood. He was at our house within 5 minutes! Very professional, efficient and knowledgeable about what needed to be done. We are new to the area and so happy to have found an electrician that we would call again when the need arises.
Description of Work: I had several switches and light fixtures that weren't working as well as asked for suggestions for future work.

Original wall electrical box was not the kind to allow for a neat installation. They compensated as best they could but did not result in a very attractive wall outlet. However, it is safe, it works fine and after all, it is just a shop.
Description of Work: Added circuit breaker and wall outlet activating existing 220V wiring in workshop.

Ramon and Victor were on time, very professional and efficient. They kept cleaned up after themselves. We were on a tight schedule and they worked with us. Ramon even found a good home for a focus tree we needed to get rid of.
Description of Work: we had just purchased this home, and some "creative" wiring needed to be corrected. Some new GFI's were installed. New light in the shower. Electrified a storage unit.

Couldn't have been better. Ramon and his assistant came the same day I called, despite having a heavy schedule. The work was done promptly, they had the parts on their truck, the price was less than I expected, they were professional and quick, and also very nice.
Description of Work: I needed three switch boxes swapped out. The one in my kitchen would not turn off. The other two were joined in servicing the same fixture.

Ramon and his assistant arrived on time, were courteous, worked quickly, and gave me helpful advice about installation options and about patching the ceiling (since his team does not do ceiling patching). One of the fans later developed a slight clicking sound which Ramon fixed free of charge.

Well. Came within an hour or so of my call. Friendly & professional. Identified a GFI receptacle on the exterior of the house that had failed. (I had checked it, but not thoroughly enough--didn't have the tester which Mr. Cordova had). He replaced the GFI receptacle & cover and it all works now.
Description of Work: 4 electrical receptacles in my garage were dead. I troubleshot, but could not identify the problem. RC Electric was called to come find/fix the problem.

Ramon and his assistant arrived promptly and were very professional. His work was not only incredible but he was also very reasonable. He informed us of the differences in various light bulbs and which would work best in our setting. We highly recommend him and would most definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Ramon installed a ceiling fan, replaced 5 under cupboard lights, and replaced a closet light.

Mr. Cordova's workmanship is superb. He and his assistant George did a fantastic, efficient job.
Description of Work: Mr. Cordova took down a chandelier and replaced it with a new one, took down two outdoor ceiling lights and replaced them with new ones, and added an electrical outlet. All of this for a very fair price.

Ramon is the best. He was prompt in returning my call. He came to our house on a Saturday morning, the day after I initially called, a plus. He investigated the issue and found the problem within 30 minutes. He replaced the faulty GFI outlet and now all of the outlets tied to this one work which is a huge plus since they are located in bathrooms. He was expert, quick, friendly, had all of the parts needed in his truck. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: We had two GFI outlets not working. We needed him to find the problem.

Ramon and his assistant checked both electrical boxes and the breakers, some of the wiring and several outlets. They could not diagnose the issue without tearing into my walls. Since the area of my house where the problem is located is built using cinder block construction, this will be a much more involved repair. I decided that I would bring them back when I replace some of the kitchen cabinets in a couple months. That way the kitchen would be clear to get to the walls with problems. We discussed adding serge protectors on the breaker boxes when he comes back. I will also have him do the new wiring for the electrical changes, like new lighting and a fan over the stove. He only charged me for the house call.
Description of Work: We had a lightning strike close to the house and lost electricity in parts of the house. I asked Ramon to diagnose the problem and give me an estimate to repair it so I could decide about filing a claim with my home owners insurance.

Ramon was excellent to work with. First of all, although he was booked up for a couple of weeks to come, when I told him I'd be leaving town shortly, he assured me he'd find a way to squeeze me in before my departure. He was very easy to communicate with and very attentive to my needs. Then, most importantly, the work was completed perfectly. I now have gorgeous fans and fixtures that funtion beautifully. I recommend Ranom enthusiastically.
Description of Work: Ramon and his assistant installed two ceiling fans and three light fixtures.

Ramon Cordova was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable about the various things we needed done. He arrived promptly to assess the work we needed, then arranged a return appointment. To our benefit he was able to arrive a day earlier than originally planned. We had recently bought this pre-owned home and the home inspection included various electrical issues that Ramon was very knowledgeable about and able to address. In addition, he was able to suggest how to aesthetically improve and replace our garage lights that needed repair. He was aware of what the inspectors noticed as exposed improper wiring to an outdoor shed, and Ramon knew exactly what type of wiring the inspector had recommended. Ramon also walked our outdoor areas, evaluated our landscape lighting, and made a few safetly suggestions that were very helpful. We would definately use Ramon again. He seemed eager to please.
Description of Work: Replaced two motion detector lights, installed a photocell on another outdoor light, replaced two garage lights, bonded the electric box, replaced two exposed electric cables with special enclosed ones for added safety.

Ramon first came over to assess the job and set up an app't. He stated that his fee per hour is $90. but with his helper it actually is $110. He always uses his helper on jobs . He thought it would take between 1.5 and 2 hours but it took them 3 hours according to the final invoice. They did a good job with the hardwire of the under-cabinet lights, hiding the wires and splicing the connections so it was controlled by one existing switch. Plus, he stabilized a poorly installed switch on the back splash wall. They also installed the island pendant light (with dimmer that I provided for this purpose). They are very professional, polite, answer questions and clean up after their work. I would use them again if I have the need for a well qualified electrician.
Description of Work: Hard wired under-cabinet, kitchen lighting (3 lights that I purchased) and hung pendant light over kitchen island, installed dimmer.

15 minutes, he was done, and the problem was solved. I contacted him when he had time for a small quick job, so he was able to come right after I talked to him. Very pleasant man. I'll call him again when the need arises.

I couldn't believe how fast they worked, and they did a great job! The cost was incredibly low compared to what we expected, and the quality of work was excellent. His work ethic really shone through in his thorough analysis of our situation and how dirty he got (but he left no mess behind!).
Description of Work: Ramon and his tech came out and installed two lights, three dimmer switches, a new outdoor electrical box, and installed some new breakers. The cost included all of the supplies.
